Marriage Notes:
" 'The lands of Dumbreck and Culquhorsey, in the parish of Echt, continued in the family for several generations, until carried off by the Forbeses of Echt, by a comprising' (MS.D).
It is in connection with this, probably, that we find, in 1638, a decreet of Mr. Alexander Skene, eldest son to deceased Alexander Skene of Dumbreck, against Arthur Forbes, now of Echt, son and heir of deceased Robert Forbes of Echt, to implement a contract; and on 21st May, 1656, he appears as Mr. Alexander Skene in Cairnday ; and again, on 12th April, 1676, there is a bond by Mr. Alexander Skene, eldest son to the deceased Alexander Skene of Dumbreck, now in Cocairdie.'
He was married to Jean Leslie, daughter of Patrick Leslie of Kincraigie, and was father to George Skene that was late minister of Kinkell, near Aberdeen. (MS.D)."
